Exemplified Entitlement: Spa Parking, Ep. 1

The Web2Carz.com office, which is located in the heart of hoity-toity Highland Park, Illinois, shares a parking lot with a spa. This allows me a glimpse into the life of some of the most annoying, entitled folks on the planet — people that have the time to go to the spa on a weekday.

You'd think these lines were invisible to people in a certain tax bracket. Considering that affluenza is a legal defense, though, I'm actually not too surprised.

There hasn't been another car parked in an adjacent space at any point today (aside from the Dodge there), so this person was not parking like this to accommodate an already-poorly-parked car.

This person parked his/her Civic, got out, presumably looked at the parking job and said, "I am okay with this."

God help us all.

[UPDATE] !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for all you people decrying my assumption that this Civic driver is anything but a member of the hoi polloi .

The Mazda and the Dodge are both employees of nearby businesses. They know how to park, for the most part (although the Dodge is a fair bit away from the center of the spot, as well).

You need to get those bad parking stickers/cards.

Why would he/she need to have a relaxing spa session, I would've thought driving a Civic was relaxing enough already...

You need to bring a stick of yellow sidewalk chalk to work to help people with their parking by extending the lines for them. Sometimes maybe even curving them. That'd be brilliant.

I need to get a set of wheel dollies and start fixing their parking jobs myself.

I'll stick with public shaming for now.

(Human contact? With an irate stranger? No thanks.)

Those are some of the longest parking spots I've ever seen...and they still couldn't even be fucking bothered.

Base model Civic with hubcaps + base model Journey with no tinted windows = rich people...how exactly?

Regardless of their actual income, I suggest you get a supply of these stickers and place them on the driver's windows of the offending vehicles.

I wouldn't put a sticker on somebody else's car. One of those "do unto others" things. I'll gladly shame them in a public forum, though.

The Dodge is an employee of a restaurant on the other side of the spa. And you'd be surprised how frugal people are in this neck of the woods, at least with autos; I'll drive down Sheridan Road and see Camrys, Corollas, and Civics parked outside $1M+ houses. Most people I know with money don't spend lavishly on cars.

It was an educated guess based on the surrounding demographics, plus the fact that this person is at the spa at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday. How many non-housewife/househusband(?) people do you know with the time and disposable income for that?

The spot will *almost* accommodate a Ram ProMaster 2500 LWB. It's kind of sad, isn't it?

Kind of? No. It's very sad. Very sad, and very pathetic.

Not pictured: affluence.

Going to a day spa at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday is a good marker of affluence, or at the very least, poor financial decision-making by a non-affluent person.

I get what you are saying, but it could just be something like an administrative assistant enjoying an indulgent day off.

Does not detract from the parking job that's so poor you can probably see how bad it is from a Google Earth satellite.

That's true. I'm just jaded to all the fur-and-Louis-V-laden women that roll through this lot in dealer-plated German luxury cars.

That's why you put the sticker on the window so they can peel it off easy. Or just print out a bunch of these slips to leave under people's wipers so they don't have to deal with stickers.

I actually have a stack of those slips in my Civic. I'm just not driving my DD very often these days.

Where I'm at in NJ I swear there's a factory producing women with oversized sunglasses, designer handbags, "designer" fake athletic wear with stupid sayings in fluorescent letters, and ugg boots.
